Comfort Food in the Summer cuz it's COLD in SF!

It may be 100 degrees everywhere else but it is COLD in San Francisco! What is UP with that? I guess I can't complain too much since I don't exactly like the heat either but can we at least get over 65 degrees? Since it was cold, I decided to make some comfort food. This was a wonderful Beefy Mexican Rice concoction that I cooked up using things I had in the pantry. It's great as an entree, dip or even burrito filling as Greg found! :)

Who is Cookie?

I'm not a chef, a nutritionist or a personal trainer. I'm just an ordinary girl who's obsessed with working out and cooking!

I began my journey with the gym at the age of 17, when I first discovered how good I felt after 30-60 minutes of cardio and weight-lifting. I LOVE being at the gym but I also enjoy doing Taebo and Pilates at home once in a while. I work out 7 days a week (unless I'm REALLY sick), and I always feel GREAT afterwards. Exercise really is the perfect hang-over cure!

The Food Network has been my favorite channel for as long as I can remember. I moved in with my Honey in October 2007 and for the first time, I had my VERY OWN kitchen! I was ecstatic and immediately began cooking dinners that I've seen on the shows and baking for my coworkers every Friday. Needless to say, they all love me! hehe
